Selection and Results

For Std 1st & 2nd

Passing Marks: Minimum 32 marks out of 100

In the normal course, the participant with the higher score in the given exam track will be short listed for the merit holder list. However, in the event of two or more participants getting the same score, each one will be ranked with the same number and the next highest marks will be given the next number. First 200 Students will be eligible for the prizes announced by MPSP. If the marks obtained by the 200th rank are same for the further 20 students, then those 20 students will also be eligible for the prizes.

For Std 3rd,4th,6th,7th

Passing Marks:

Paper 1 (Section A + Section B) Minimum 36 marks out of 150.

Paper 2 (Section A + Section B) Minimum 36 marks out of 150.

In the normal course, the participant with the higher score in the given exam track will be short listed for the merit holder list. This tie-breaker system is designed to eliminate “shared ranks” by cascading through eight levels of data. It moves from Academic Merit (performance-based) to Biographical Data (identity-based) to ensure every student lands on a unique line.

Here is the detailed breakdown of how this hierarchy is applied when two or more students have the same Total Score:

Phase 1: The Academic Hierarchy (Priority 1–4)

The system first looks at specific subject performance. A student who scores higher in “harder” or more foundational subjects is ranked higher.

  1. Mathematics: This is the primary “power” subject. Even if two students have the same total score, the one with the higher Math score wins the tie.
  2. Intelligence (IQ/Reasoning): If the Math scores are also identical, the system looks at the Intelligence/Mental Ability section.
  3. First Language: If a tie still exists, the “First Language” (usually the medium of instruction) acts as the third filter.
  4. Second Language: This is the final academic filter used to break the deadlock.

Phase 2: The Biographical Hierarchy (Priority 5–8)

If two students are perfectly equal across the total score and all four subject scores, the system moves to alphabetical sorting. This is purely administrative to ensure no two people share a rank.

  1. Surname (Last Name): The list is sorted A to Z by surname.
    • Example: “BANKAR” ranks higher than “PATIL“.
  2. Student Name (First Name): If two students have the same surname (e.g., two people named “PATIL”), it looks at their first names.
    • Example: “RUTUJA PATIL” ranks higher than “ SAMARTH PATIL“.
  3. Father’s Name: In the rare case of identical student names and surnames, the father’s name is the next filter.
    • This distinguishes between cousins or individuals with common names in the same community.
  4. Mother’s Name: This is the final “fail-safe.” It is statistically near-impossible for two students to have the same total score, the same four subject scores, and the exact same three-part names including both parents.

First 200 Students will be eligible for the prizes announced by MPSP. If the marks obtained by the 200th rank are same for the further 20 students, then those 20 students will also be eligible for the prizes.

For Std 5th Level 1

Passing Marks: (Section A + Section B) Minimum 36 marks out of 150.

In the normal course, the participant with the higher score in the given exam track will be short listed for the merit holder list. This tie-breaker system is designed to eliminate “shared ranks” by cascading through nine levels of data. It moves from Academic Merit (performance-based) to Biographical Data (identity-based) to ensure every student lands on a unique line.

Here is the detailed breakdown of how this hierarchy is applied when two or more students have the same Total Score:

Phase 1: The Academic Hierarchy (Priority 1–2)

The system first looks at specific subject performance. A student who scores higher in “harder” or more foundational subjects is ranked higher.

  1. Science: This is the primary subject. Even if two students have the same total score, the one with the higher score in science wins the tie.
  2. Intelligence (IQ/Reasoning): If the science scores are also identical, the system looks at the Intelligence/Mental Ability section.

Phase 2: The Biographical Hierarchy (Priority 3–6)

If two students are perfectly equal across the total score and both subject scores, the system moves to alphabetical sorting. This is purely administrative to ensure no two people share a rank.

  1. Surname (Last Name): The list is sorted A to Z by surname.
    1. Example: “BANKAR” ranks higher than “PATIL“.
  2. Student Name (First Name): If two students have the same surname (e.g., two people named “PATIL”), it looks at their first names.
    1. Example: “RUTUJA PATIL” ranks higher than “ SAMARTH PATIL“.
  3. Father’s Name: In the rare case of identical student names and surnames, the father’s name is the next filter.
    1. This distinguishes between cousins or individuals with common names in the same community.
  4. Mother’s Name: This is the final “fail-safe.” It is statistically near-impossible for two students to have the same total score, the same four subject scores, and the exact same three-part names including both parents.

First 200 Students will be eligible for the prizes announced by MPSP. If the marks obtained by the 200th rank are same for the further 20 students, then those 20 students will also be eligible for the prizes.

 

For Std 5th Level 2
